Overrated probably. Food wasn't that good at the hi tea.
Some of the pastries we got were different from what others were served. Been to many fairmonts but this was a disappointment..probably not a good chef for the hi tea sandwiches & food.

I made a reservation for a breakfast buffet at the Place Dufferin. When I arrived at the cafe, I waited for 5 minutes for my table. As I being seated, the server greeted me with my name . What a personalized service. The Buffett is a little bit pricey. I asked for the window table overlooking the promenade. What a nice morning to start in Quebec.

Buffet breakfast, was good but was expecting more? Still a good option half you want to see the inside for the Frontenac Chateau & didn't find tours available.

Service was great!

I love breakfast. This place felt like royalty. Literally in a castle. The eggs benny was like liquid gold. & the fresh fruits & pastries were just the beginning of the endless breakfast items available.

L'attrait de ce restaurant pour le déjeuner est clairement la vue sur la terrasse Dufferin, parce que pour le reste, c'est très passable & beaucoup trop cher. Les serveurs sont sympathiques, sans plus. Il y a du choix au buffet déjeuner, mais rien d'extraordinaire. Nous n'y retournerons pas.

Fantastic buffet; our server, Jonathan, was very, very friendly (perfect example of how all the people of Quebec have been) & gracious of my attempt to parlez le Francais (Je ne parle pas le Francais depuis trent ans). The food was fresh & very tasty & the Maple Bacon so very good. We will return, merci!

High tea was disappointing. Food was not fresh. Unacceptable for the price! Server was adamant that we could not earn Accor points just for eating at the restaurant despite a clear ad in the menu stating the opposite. Felt like a tourist trap. Not what you can expect for a Fairmont property.
